I like to use burncd for burning CDs and I wanted to burn DVDs the same way so I wrote this simple script. The script will tell You the same but here are the options:

usage: burndvd.sh OPTION [ /path/to/data | image_to_burn ]
 avialable OPTIONS:
  burndvd.sh --blank
    blanks DVD-RW
  burndvd.sh --blank+rw
    blanks DVD+RW (useful only for privacy reasons)
  burndvd.sh --burn /paths /to /multiple /files
    burn files to DVD/DVD+/-RW
  burndvd.sh --add /paths /to /multiple /files
    append files to already burned DVD+/-RW
  burndvd.sh --iso image.iso
    burn ISO image
  burndvd.sh --cue image.cue
    burn CUE/BIN image

to set DEVICE use that command:

% dmesg | grep ^cd | uniq
cd0: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N RL00> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device

to set CDRDAO_DEVICE use that command:

# cdrdao scanbus
Cdrdao version 1.2.1 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas@daneb.de>
  SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling
  Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty

Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver tables.

Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'

1,0,0 : HL-DT-ST, DVDRAM GSA-H42N , RL00

I propably forgot about something so fell free to point that out.

Also little script for burning CDs with burncd

usage: burncd.sh OPTION [ /path/to/data | image_to_burn ]
 avialable OPTIONS:
  burncd.sh --blank
    blank CD-RW
  burncd.sh --burn /paths /to /multiple /files
    burn files to CD-R[W]
  burncd.sh --iso image.iso
    burn ISO image
